the roadside physiological/behavioural test results in information indicative of consumption of a drug by the person; and a roadside physiological/behavioural test of a person which results in information indicative of drug consumption by the person is proof of an offence unless such person has previously undergone the substantially simultaneous testing. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) A system according to claim 1, wherein: the situation is a roadside interaction between a police officer and a driver; the roadside physiological/behavioural test results in the concentration in the blood, breath or saliva of the person of a compound which is indicative of consumption of a drug; a roadside physiological/behavioural test of a person which results in a finding of a concentration of the compound in excess of a predetermined limit is proof of an offence unless such person has previously undergone the substantially simultaneous testing and demonstrated capacity to drive under the same physiological/behavioural conditions. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) A system according to claim 1, wherein: the situation is a roadside interaction between a police officer and a driver; the roadside physiological/behavioural test results in information: indicative of consumption of a drug by the person; and further information indicative of the capacity of the person; a roadside physiological/behavioural test of a person which results in information indicative of consumption of drug consumption by a person is proof of an offence unless such person has previously undergone the substantially simultaneous testing and demonstrated capacity to drive under the same physiological/behavioural conditions as obtained by the roadside test. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) A system according to claim 4, wherein the further information indicative of capacity is measurements of eye movements, blinking and pupillometry. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) A system according to claim 1, wherein the drug is alcohol or THC. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) A system according to claim 1, wherein capacity is determined using the Tower of London test. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) A system according to claim 1, further comprising a plurality of centres at which a person can undergo a capacity test and substantially simultaneously undergo physiological/behavioural testing. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) A system according to claim 8, wherein the centres can issue credentials providing details of the results of the simultaneous testing.
